bandages Posted September 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Does this count as necroing a thread? surely not... Anyway, been a while since I've updated this blog, mainly as my new LWGS doesn't have a very heavy Malifaux presence. Subsequently I've spent the last few months scratch building Grot tanks and converting a 40K Grot army! Anyway, this is meant to be a Malifaux blog! I've recently discovered a new WGS, a bit further out from where I live, but alot of Malifaux events and seemingly a strong community. With that in mind I am able to start on a project I've been planning for ages, a Bayou/Swamp board. # Flocking, foliage and water effects up next. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board itself probably only took an hour to fabricate, including the cutting, sanding and application of the hinges. Each subsequent stage probably took anywhere between half an hour to an hour; cutting and forming the cork for the terrain, polyfilla-ing the transitions, adding the sand and gluing the wooden walkways. The drying times have been a bit of a killer in terms of getting onto the next stage each day. The most time consuming part was the cutting and carving of each individual lollipop stick for the walkway which was probably 2 hours of work, then painting and detailing each stick was probably three! Overall I've spent about 10 hours on it so far with maybe 4-5 more to do on finishing the details. Some homemade flock. Dirt cheap and easy to make as long as you have a timber merchant (or most hardware places) so that you can get the saw dust) Anyway, some flock has been added. I'm not delighted with the results. It now feels more like marshland rather than lush Bayou or muddy swamp. Im hoping the addition of swamp tufts, reeds and Bayou themed terrain will bring ti back to my original design, but we'll have to see! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bit of progress on the board and the terrain to support. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
